Photo sessions for Music were conducted by Jean Baptiste Mondino, who had worked previously with the singer on a number of photoshoots and music videos.[1] The art direction and design were done by Kevin Reagan.[2] The artwork depicted Madonna as a cowgirl, wearing pink and blue stetsons and embroidered jeans, among hay bales and 1950s cars.[1] The images and typographical style paid homage to the iconography of the western United States, relishing Americana culture while at the same time satirizing it.[1][3] Mondino had the idea of the western themes for the album; Madonna was not sure at first, but was convinced by the photographer and eventually appreciated the final result.[4] Santiago Fouz-Hernández, author of Madonna's Drowned Worlds: New Approaches to Her Subcultural Transformations, described the visual as "a complete celebration of camp", which was highlighted by Madonna's combination of western clothing with expensive shoes such as bright red high heels.[5][6] He also thought it was inspired by Miss Rodeo America and the photo book Rodeo Girl (2000) by Lisa Eisner, and also defined it as an evocation of Judy Garland.[3][6] Madonna also used her cowgirl style during her public appearances to promote the album, including jeans, shirts and cowboy hats,[7] and eventually became one of her most recognized reinventions.[8][9]
